Biography
I’m from DRCongo, Goma, i arrived in Malawi in 2009 and i am 30years of age.
I started dancing when i was 10 yrs but i was only dancing at home . I was so motivated by Michael Jackson’s dances up until now and my dance skills has improved.
As a dancer living in a refugee camp “in malawi”, its so hard because we’re not free, like a person can open a dance class in town. It’s not allowed for a refugee to work in town.
That does not discourage me, because for me to perform in town, i have to he hired by malawians na i get to have that little something to help/feed the family at home.
I have performed at so many places here in malawi such as Lake of stars Festival, Sand music festival, Tumaini Festival, Makasi Festival , these are just some among the many places i have performed at.
As a Refugee, i would like to say or tell whoever is reading this book to support Refugees because they’re vulnerable people.
